Work It Wednesday: Get A Move On Part 2

We are loving the information found at Kid's Health.  We all know these days it gets harder and harder to get your little one to be active.  The more creative you can be, the better and their website has so many ideas to get your kiddo up on their feet.

Here's just a few ideas we found:

Move Like A...
As you and your child do chores around the house have them Move Like A (bee, dog, cat, etc).  Call out different animals each time and encourage your child to mimic that animals movement.  What a great way to make chores more fun!

Story Time
The next time you read your child's favorite story have them move along!  For example, if the people in the story are running, encourage your kids to run in place.  If the people in the story are dancing, start grooving!  You can also come up with your own action stories as you climb up trees, jump over puddles, and dance in the rain!
